we booked a loft, but it wasn't available when we arrived so we got a ground floor room. Facilities nice but I wish they were closer to beach. It was great to prepare own meals; make sure you get some groceries in town beforehand. very quiet and peaceful. Easy walks to beaches and kiwi forests (part of abandoned golf course.

Overall, we were quite pleased with our stay here. The little beach area is quiet and peaceful, the gardens are well-kept (with resident chicken families to watch), and it is convenient to town. Guests should bear in mind, however, that the condo apartments are privately owned, so the amenities and condition of the apartments can vary. For instance, there was some miscommunication within the rental agency. We arrived in the evening, which meant we accessed the apartment using a keycode on the door. The apartment we stayed in that evening was mostly OK, but we had trouble with the door locks, some of the instructions left by the owner didn't make sense, there was no WIFI, and the kitchen light strobed unpleasantly. After going to the agency to ask about the locks, we were told that they actually meant to put us in a different apartment (#203) anyway. So we moved, and the other apartment was MUCH nicer. The owners had put together a nice folder of information about the island, the furniture was comfortable, the WIFI worked, and the kitchen had nearly all the equipment one could wish for. Neither apartment had air conditioning, but in December that wasn't needed anyway - we just ran the fans and opened the window if it got a bit hot.
